Saw a 92-96 greenish (it was very dirty

) SVX broken down on the side of the road in front of the Drury Inn hotel on E. Dry Creek Road/ I-25 in Englewood today. Actually this was the second day in a row I spotted it. It had the florescent green tag on the antennae. Looked like it was going to be towed?? I though about stopping and putting the "SVX Club Card" on the windshield. I didn't think it would be the right thing to do especially for an owner who has a stranded SVX. Almost a slap in the face! I hope it wasn't anyone here!

I could of used some parts off of it though!

Actually it was a black SVX. There was a cop behind it this morning.

My friend told me about that one yesterday. He said it's a black one just sitting on the side of the road. He drives by it everyday. Im pretty sure its the same one. I work up in the tech center as also...just further up north.

I had an unusual sighting today. Our town is disproportionately full of SVXes. Unfortunately, most of the owners are either too stuck up or they think they just have a car. There's only 4 of us in town who are on the network and actually get together once in a while.

Anyway.......
I pulled up to a stoplight this morning and noticed another car at the light getting ready to turn left in front of me. I thought, is that an SVX? Nah.... Then when she turned I realized that it was an SVX, only probably the dirtiest one I'd ever seen. It was a pearly with no spoiler and had Indiana plates I believe (does IN have plates with a red band at the top, white in the middle and blue on the bottom?). Car looked like it had been driven there and back without so much as a nod at a car wash. Strange to see SVXes in town with plates other than CO.

When I was living in Germany, a BMW 2002tii broke down on the side of the road and was there for several days. Every day there was something else broken into or removed. Finally the entire car disappeared - I don't know if that was because the owner finally had it towed or the thieves finally took it completely apart.

Now that CSU is back in, the college kids are back. and there are 3 green, 2 pearl, a black and a red that are at CSU. So if anyone is up in fort collins, there are always good sightings.

-side note- Correct me if im wrong, but i believe that colorado has more svx's than most other states. sighting wise at least

Naw! I don't think so. It is just that ya'll don't have anything better to do than report every single little bit of action out your way.

its just because colorado is cooler than any other state... lol

I am sure you meant to say--colder.

Actually you will find that there are many more SVXs in PA and CA than there are in CO.

Now that's a clever way of getting stranded cars removed off the streets.

Saw a good looking Blue '92- '96 SVX in the southeast parking lot of Albertsons grocery shopette today in Littleton, CO.. This SVX had a sun deflector (maybe an employee of one of the surrounding stores?), and had tinted windows. This is the 2nd time I've seen this particular SVX! I gave them the infamous elaminated club card. Maybe it's someone in here??

Saw a white SVX "For Sale" in the Conifer HWY 285 area. Not too sure what the asking price is?? Anyone in here?

They didn't make the Laguna Blue until 1994.

Saw a 94 Green SVX at that dealership on Old Golden Road.

I stopped by and looked at it. The tranny is good, the engine sounds good, the interior is the tan leather, sunroof, pretty much mint condition with low miles... aka in the low 100K like 110 or something like that.

The only problem with it was the hood had peeling right in the middle and I don't know the condition of the wheel bearings, but everything else seems fine.

Oh and that Laguna Blue SVX that was at the same dealership was let go for cheaper because 3rd gear was out...
